cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-android-permissions throughs error call back

Question

i am using android 6.0.1 i am trying to get the permissions for my default sms

here is my code to allow the permission

var self = this;

      var permissions = cordova.plugins.permissions;

        permissions.hasPermission(permissions.READ_SMS, checkPermissionCallback, null);
        self.getSMS();
        function checkPermissionCallback (status)  {
          if(!status.hasPermission) {
            var errorCallback = () => {
              alert('READ_SMS permission is not turned on');
            }

            permissions.requestPermission(
              permissions.READ_SMS,
              (status) => {

              if(!status.hasPermission) {
                errorCallback();
              }
              else{
                self.getSMS();
              }
            },
            errorCallback);
          }
        }

the problem is i am always invoking only error call back

self.getSms() is the function to read the sms available but i am not invoking the successcallback of the permissions

here is my config.xml

did you tried debugging on device console to find any error trace? — Gandhi, May 10 '17 at 07:51
yes i tried that one `console.log(status)` shows `{hasPermission: false}` @Gandhi — Mohan Gopi, May 10 '17 at 07:53
is the permission there in android manifest in your platform? — Suraj Rao, May 10 '17 at 09:34

@MohanGopi i m not talking about console.log. Did you debugged it using chrome inspect device option? — Gandhi, May 10 '17 at 10:12
@MohanGopi I dont see READ_SMS permission added in your android manifest in the first place — Gandhi, May 10 '17 at 10:58
@MohanGopi if reading sms is the primary intentm why not use a sms reader cordova plugin available readymade? — Gandhi, May 10 '17 at 11:01
@MohanGopi if you trying to read sms, why not use a sms reader plugin? — Gandhi, May 10 '17 at 11:12

@MohanGopi Unfortunately no readymade plugin is available and moreover it is not possible too in iOS. As per apple documentation it states 'An iOS app can only access the data for which Apple supplies a documented public API. iOS can not access outside of the sandbox until Apple provides a public API for it. So intercepting/reading an incoming SMS not possible. And no idea when the iOS device is jailbroken.' — Gandhi, May 10 '17 at 14:01

If the intent of the requirement is to read SMS, then you can go ahead with readymade SMS reception plugin or cordova SMS plugin available for Android.

But in iOS, SMS reading by an external app is not allowed due to the strict security policy of Apple. You make have to check out this SO Post and this link for more info on this.

Hope it helps. Cheers.
